21-time Los Angeles Lakers All-Star power forward LeBron James has weighed in on a CBS Sports report that he “had grown frustrated with Anthony Davis” ahead of L.A.’s shocking late-night Saturday trade for the 10-time All-Star center/power forward in exchange for Dallas Mavericks superstar guard Luka Doncic.

Davis, starting shooting guard Max Christie, and a 2029 first round draft pick were flipped to the Mavericks for Doncic, power forward/center Maxi Kleber, and deep-bench power forward Markieff Morris, a former Lakers champion with Davis and James in 2020.

The deal was later expanded to include the Utah Jazz. Per Shams Charania of ESPN, the full agreement also sees L.A. ditch 2023 first round pick Jalen Hood-Schifino and the Mavericks offload their 2025 second round selection from the Clippers and their own 2025 second rounder.
